the northen mountainsthe great himalayas:The Great Himalayas lie north of the Lower Himalayan Range. These mountains are bounded by the Indus River in the north and the west as the river takes a southward turn at Sazin. The average height of the range is about 6000 meters. Some of the highest peaks in the world lie in these mountains e.g. Nanga Parbat (8126 meters), which is the ninth highest peak in the world and the second highest peak in Pakistan. Since the mountains are perpetually covered with snow there are many glaciers, with Rupal Glacier being the longest (17.6 km). The glacial action has created many beautiful lakes like the Saiful Muluk lake which lies in the upper Kaghan Valley. Another noticeable geographic feature of this area are the deep gorges carved by the Indus in this region. The deepest of which, located at Dasu-Patan region (Kohistan District), is 6500 meters deep. In fact, this is the deepest gorge in the world, so deep, that even if the highest mountain of North America, Europe or Antarctica were to be placed at its deepest point, the peak would still not project beyond the top. the lesser himalayas:

The Lesser Himalayas lies in between the Sub-Himalayas and Higher Himalayas separated by the Main Boundary Thrust (MBT) and the Main Central Thrust (MCT) respectively. The total width ranges from 60–80 km. The Lesser Himalayas is made up mostly of the unfossiliferous sedimentary and met sedimentary rocks; such as shale, sandstone, conglomerate, slate, phyllite, schist, quartzite, limestone and dolomite. The rocks range in age from Precambrian to Miocene. The geology is complicated due to folding, faulting and thrusting and are largely unfossiliferous. Tectonically, the entire Lesser Himalayas consists of two sequences of rocks: allochthonous, and autochthonous-Para autochthonous units; with various nappes, klippes and tectonic windows. the outter himalayas:

...A mountain is a large landform that stretches above the surrounding land in a limited area, usually in the form of a peak. A mountain is generally steeper than a hill. Mountains are formed through tectonic forces or volcanism. These forces can locally raise the surface of the earth by over 10,000 feet (3,000 m). Mountains erode slowly through the action of rivers, weather conditions, and glaciers. A few mountains are isolated summits, but most occur in huge mountain ranges.
High elevations on mountains produce colder climates than at sea level. These colder climates strongly affect the ecosystem of mountains: different elevations have different plants and animals. Because of the less hospitable terrain and climate, mountains tend to be used less for agriculture and more for resource extraction and recreation, such as mountain climbing.
The highest mountain on Earth is Mount Everest in the Himalayas of Asia, whose summit is 8,849.868 m (29,035 ft) above mean sea level. The highest known mountain on any planet in the Solar System is Olympus Mons on Mars at 21,171 m (69,459 ft).
Climate on mountains become colder at high elevations, due to the way that the sun heats the surface of the Earth.[21] The sun warms the ground directly, while the greenhouse effect acts as a blanket, reflecting...

The Swarajists were elected to the Calcutta Corporation in a majority in 1924. Deshbandhu was elected mayor and Subash Chandra Bose was appointedChief Executive Officer. The leaders of Swaraj Party began to advocate fordominion status to India. Many of the elected deputies soon forgot about obstruction and began cooperating with the government (tariff autonomy bill passed, 1923). In 1924 Gandhi was released from prison due to poor health and was elected President of the Indian National Congress. 1925 saw the first woman becoming the president of Indian National Congress when Sarojini Naidu was elected President for the Kanpur session.

...Southwest Airlines
Southwest started its operations in 1971 in Dallas-Houston, Dallas-San Antonio &amp; San Antonio-Houston our operations were delayed by lawsuits filed against us by our competitors. Braniff and Texas International (TI) were the two major Airlines played a very distinctive role in these routes &amp; our competitors. Customers were not happy with service provided by both, this when Southwest entered with new prices and quality services. The two giants maintained their fares $27 &amp; $28 but Southwest started with $20 fare. When we started off with operations it was calculated that we would need 39 passengers per flight for breakeven but we were averaging 13.1 and 12.9 passengers per flight. Reopening of William P. Hobby airport because of customer preference which led to increase in transportation revenues &amp; our passenger loads went from 18.4 to 26.7 passengers per flight. Southwest came up with a discount flight of $10 on Friday evenings after 9.00pm, seeing the response to this in May it was started on daily basis with half-fare flights after 8 PM, also Saturday flights were reintroduced with the same half-price. To improve sales in Dallas-San Antonio market, a limited period offer was made, flights were to be half priced for this route. If it showed positive responses we were considering making it a permanent price. This strategy was countered by Braniff’s “Get Acquainted Sale” which now offered half fare flights in our Dallas-Houston Hobby...

...The entire northern hilly region falls under the influence of the Himalayas. Jammu &amp; Kashmir comprises three distinct regions: Leh, the Kashmir Valley and Jammu. Leh slopes gradually towards the north and northeast, while the Kashmir Valley slopes toward the south of the Himalayan axis. The hilly region of Uttar Pradesh consists of a Himalayan tract in the extreme north and comprises Almora, Garhwal and Nainital. Himachal Pradesh is traversed by hills ranging in altitude from low to high.
Occupation of People Living in Northern Hilly region : -
The main occupation of people living in the mountains is farming. Terrace or step farming is done on slopes of hills to grow rice, maize, and tea depending on the height of the region they are living. Orchards of fruits like apples, peaches, pears, plums, etc., are common. People also rear animals like sheep and cows for wool and milk. Fruits, wool and handicrafts are sent all over the country from these regions.
On the Dal Lake in Kashmir, many people make their living by using boats called Shikaras to give rides to tourists. Here handicrafts are also a source of income. Shawls, walnut furniture, papier-mache articles are some famous handicrafts of Kashmir.

Another example of Pepsi, when the Pepsi factory was under its setting up process in the Punjab, the farmers of Punjab protested because the Pepsi authority committed to purchase the potatoes of the farmer but later on the reject and told the farmer that there potatoes are not up to their standards which is used in making up wafers chips and they have imported potatoes from the foreign countries.
6. Only 30 % is mandatory to purchase from Small and medium enterprises (SME's). What about rest 70%?
7. The large supermarket will import rest 70% which will increase current account deficit of the India. It will demotivate the small and medium scale industries. Hence it will increase unemployment.
In a developing country like India allowing FDI may help in booming the economy. But, this will only be up to a certain period of time only. Initially, India will get employment but that may also affect the middle class people who are mostly depended on small business. The employment provided by FDI will be of low class like, sweepers, security guards, etc. FDI saying that the farmers will be benefited but, their land used for cultivating the crops by spraying large amount of pesticides will be infected.
Ex. FDI using one farmers land for one year. It will cultivate large amount of crops by using pesticides indirectly affecting the land's quality. After one year that land will be poisoned. Then FDI will shift to...

...REPUBLIC OF INDIA
INTRODUCTION
India, officially the Republic of India, is a country in South Asia, and a member of the Commonwealth of Nations, the World Trade Organization, the South Asian Regional Co-operation Organization and the United Nations.
The name India is derived from the River Indus, the valleys around which were the home of the early settlers. The Aryan worshippers referred to the river Indus as the Sindhu. It is impossible not to be astonished by India. Nowhere on Earth does humanity present itself in such a dizzying, creative burst of cultures and religions, races and tongues. Every aspect of the country presents itself on a massive, exaggerated scale, worthy in comparison only to the superlative mountains that overshadow it. Perhaps the only thing more difficult than to be indifferent to India would be to describe or understand India completely. The nature bounties of India make it as a world of rapture. India engrosses and enthralls the tourists who visit the country from different parts of the world. You will surely have a pleasurable and memorable holiday vacation in the country. India is known for its incredible beauty of beaches, hill stations, backwaters, cuisines and wildlife reserves
With nearly 1 billion citizens, India is the second most populous nation in the world. It is...

Ale and Lager
Beer in India
Beer first appeared in India in the mid-1700’s, during the early years of the British Empire. The demand of beer came from the British troops and other British officials who were suffering in the blistering heat of the Indian climate. The demand for beer was at such a high rate that a British distributor, George Hogson, developed a special type of beer in his brewery in London, England. The beer was dubbed Indian Pale Ale or IPA for short. IPA was developed to survive those long voyages from England to India without spoiling, because of the increasing temperatures during the 5 moth voyage to India.
In the late 1820’s a brewer, Edward Dyer, moved from England to India to set up India’s first brewery. The brewery was located by the city of Shimla in the Himalaya Mountains. The brewery produced Asia’s first beer called Lion before it was relocated to the town of Solan. The brewery moved for two reason, to be closer to the British and because the new area has an abundance of fresh spring water. The brewery is still operational. After the success of his first brewery, Dyer opened up several other breweries throughout India. Dyer was later brought out by H.G Meakin who adds another couple breweries in India. In 1937 after the detachment of Burma from India, the Dyer Meakin...
